As I have been spending most of the day in bed recovering from my knee surgery, I’ve explored my own attitude about the situation. Victor Frankel in his book Man’s Search for Meaning describes his experience being in a Nazi concentration camp. Although his whole physical existence was controlled by others, he learned that he was still the master of his own attitude. I’ve gone through the various reactions to my medical condition: Why me? This isn’t fair. How long am I going to have suffer through this? I also have moments of appreciation: my family is taking good care of me; we have medical insurance and good doctors; this too shall pass. This is an ongoing challenge.
